Al "The Bull" Ferrara, who passed away at 84, exemplified baseball passion as a lifelong Dodgers fan, achieving his dream of playing for them.
Attending his first Dodgers game at seven, Ferrara was inspired by Jackie Robinson's debut, deciding then that he would don the Dodgers jersey one day.
Despite only having brief key moments as a player, Ferrara cherished being a part of two championship teams and considered beating the Yankees in 1963 his biggest thrill.
With a career batting average of .259, Ferrara played nine seasons in the Major Leagues, achieving milestones, but ultimately faced challenges due to injuries.
